“Some of the highlights of my career are with Coventry and nothing but good things happened there for me.”

Moussa made his 50th appearance for the Sky Blues during the 4–0 win against Carlisle United where he scored another solo effort before opting to exercise his right as a free agent and leave the club in the summer of 2014, having scored an outstanding 14 goals that season.

Robins has a reputation for having a keen eye for a decent player and clearly sparked the player’s career into life with Moussa hitting the form of his life during his time at the Ricoh Arena.

Franck Moussa celebrates scoring

Sadly for the player, his move to Charlton Athletic, then in the Championship, turned sour.

“When I moved on from Coventry you can imagine my hope was to carry on that form but that wasn’t the case and it didn’t happen the way I thought it would,” he said.

“I scored my first goal in the first month and things looked to be going quite well for me.

“But I picked up a knee injury in the November that I suffered with for nine months so I missed the end of that season and didn’t come back until the second season, which is not the ideal place you want to be in when you sign for a new club.

“Then there was a change of manager and change of opinions and stuff like that and sometimes you have to do what’s best for your career and that’s why I went to Walsall.”

Moussa played just 22 times for Walsall, scoring four goals this term.

Saddlers’ boss Jon Whitney explained: “Unfortunately for Franck, things haven’t worked out quite as we hoped this season. We thank him for his contribution and wish him all the best.”

Still only 27, he’s still got age on his side and he’d bring plenty of experience. He’s also got the physicality to deal with the rigours of League Two, able to tackle and not one to be shoved off the ball easily.

He slotted into Robins’s attacking line in his preferred 4-2-3-1 formation first time round and might just be worth another punt. The player is already based in the midlands, still has a lot of affection for the Sky Blues and would almost certainly jump at the chance of a return.
